Ashley College is a small centre that is committed to providing support, care and the highest quality provision and learning experience for all our young people. Our aim is to help them return to their mainstream school or a longer term alternative provision wherever possible. The College provides support for up to 20 KS3-KS4 pupils at the centre at any one time. Teaching is normally in small groups of no more than 6 pupils. If you require further curriculum information, this can be obtained by speaking to the Deputy Head who has responsibility for Teaching and Learning.
